It's not a faraway place,
but Grubbs Street Hermit
on Maple east of Coolidge in
Troy could capture a prize in
a strange-sounding name
contest.
Grubbs by-. any other
name would still be on our
list of recommended dining
spots for its well-prepared,
reasonably priced cuisine
and attractive surround-
ings.
We ordered flounder
which was crisp and tender,
a tasty salad with a delici-
ous house dressing and
baked potato for about $5.
The others in our party gave
a nine on a scale of one to 10
to the fried clams. CocktaiLs
are on the menu which of-
fers an ample variety of
dinner items.
The Honeycomb in Pru-
dential Town Center spe-
cializes in sit-down meals,
catering and carry-out serv-
ices. Pat Quinn and her
aunt and uncle, Pain and
John Timko, have created a
tasty menu and a cozy at-
mosphere.
The restaurant is 'Pat's
brainchild and the menu
is interesting and
yummy. Using only fresh
ingredients, the changing
daily fare is neither fried
nor greasy. Pat and "Ma"
Timko turn out excellent
baked goods .

Joe Muer's on Gratiot in
Detroit has been catering to
seafood lovers for more than
50 years. And it has an in-
teresting history.
In 1929, Joe Muer Sr.
opened the first public oys-
ter bar in the city, a modern
establishment with only
seven tables.
(Below Roman Terrace)
But traveling further
back through time, it was
more than 100 years ago

trade and lived above his

in the shadows of St.
Joseph's Church. Legend
has it that he delivered
his fine two-cent cigars
around town in a cart
drawn by two ponies. His
cigars were named "To-
ny's Ponies."
When his son, Joseph was
19, Tony Muer died. Joe
Muer continued his father's
